Patrick — Sun, 02 Jun 2013 22:00:23 +0000

Back in December, I reported that Disney had begun to develop a sequel to Tim Burton’s 2010 film, ‘Alice in Wonderland’. At the time, all we know about the film was that Linda Wooverton would return to write the sequel, but there was no word on whether Tim Burton would be back to direct. Word on the sequel had gone quiet since the announcement, with many speculating that Disney was in early negotiations with Burton to return for the sequel. {Read More}

THE MUPPETS (2011) Stars: Jason Segel, Amy Adams Director: James Bobin Studio: Walt Disney Pictures Genre: Family Rating: PG Grade: A+ The premise behind the latest Muppets movie is simple (and true).

Kids today are more entertained by the internet, 3-D movies and digital animation than they would be by the hippie, ‘80s’, clever humor that The Muppets often promote. This movie could have very easily been accompanied by the tagline {Read More}
